Sandeep Sharma, on Friday (May 22), once again showed why he is regarded so highly as he castled Heinrich Klaasen with a beauty in the ongoing second qualifier between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

It was the 19th over of the SRH innings and Klaasen was well set. The South Africa star had finished his fifty off 33 deliveries in the 18th over and was looking to shift gears. Sanju Samson handed the ball to Sandeep Sharma to bowl the 19th over and the pacer had his task cut out against the hard-hitting batter.

However, the right-arm pacer came out on top in style by castling Klaasen on the very first ball of the over. Sandeep Sharma came up with a stunning yorker to send back Klaasen and stop him from finishing the innings strongly for his side. The right-handed batsman departed after scoring 50 runs off 34 balls with the help of four sixes.

Watch as Sandeep Sharma castles Heinrich Klaasen:

Talking about the game, SRH were on 169 for 7 in the 20th over at the time of writing this report. While SRH made a fast start with the bat, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and it stopped them from posting a huge total.

The likes of Travis Head (34) and Rahul Tripathi (37) got the starts as well but failed to convert them into big scores. SRH will be hoping that they finish with a 180-plus total. The winner of the ongoing game will qualify for the final and will play against Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday (May 26) at the same venue.

This is SRH's second shot at the final. Earlier this week, they suffered a crushing 8-wicket loss against Kolkata Knight Riders in the first qualifier. On the other hand, RR beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Eliminator.
